For all you convertible owners, do you suffer from this much?

Only a little, just rebushed, seems to make a difference, the M3 evo I drive is much better than the last M3 evo I had, not sure why, have you changed any of the suspension?

No, looking to buy one and the last one I drove was all over the place so wondering if that was symptomatic of the convertible or just a bad example.

Sounds like a bad example, how old was it, did it have a lot of miles, was it an Evo? I've been told of examples that didn't have the x brace fitted under the front end. I've got a beefy front strut brace that seemed to help. If your jumping out of a coupe into a convertible, your really going to notice the lack in structural rigidity, but on every day normal use you get used to it, espessialy when the sun shines and you get to here that sweet six sing
